Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (May 2019)

[TCTORNADO]

are there any others? the competition for this accolade seems pretty thin

Look at the source of the tweet.....Eurohopes

So if we whiff on Holyfield, I'm predicting the final 2019 scholarship should be used for walk on Tyler Underwood.

 

[UncleBob]

My old math shows that right now we have ten on scholarship and three open....

1 Bernard has verbally committed but not signed. Hoping for a visit and signed LOI very soon.
2. Open. Hope for Holyfield.
3. Open. ?????

I didn’t take my shoes off. Everyone agree with this?

I'm predicting that is wrong.

 

[Ratskin]

I believe that was sarcasm.

 

[lstewart53x3]

He clearly didn't fit Underwood's scheme.

This joke is so funny. I'm glad it keeps being retold everyday

The joke's growth plates haven't closed yet.

 

[Ratskin]

How tall is the joke? With shoes and without?

I'm not even sure that joke has legs....

 

[skyIdub]

Sarcasm is fluid.

:congrats:

:congrats:

It doesn't matter if the Joke's growth plates are open. It can grow legs.

If Addison Patterson reclassifies and comes here I'll be ecstatic but to have Kip,AG, Tevian, and Damonte all competing for time behind Trent/open SF spot on the wing already means one of them will probably lead leaving us with an open scholly still.

I heard he just beat out my cousin Vinny

 

[Ratskin]

Is he from one of the Five Families?

That joke = Ed Martin

With the help of Fletch and a 6,000 calorie per day diet, sky is the limit for that joke.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Iowa has offered Nimari Burnett and DJ Steward. Michigan jumps in on Burnett, too, with an offer.

 

[Soulberries]

Does anyone know if reclassifying to 2019 is still an option for Patterson or one that he is still considering?

Still considering 2019, but will also play on the AAU summer circuit. Decision probably won't come until August at the earliest.

After speaking with his father, the Joke has decided to enter the transfer portal. Both the Joke and the university have decided it is mutually beneficial to go in separate directions. Please respect the Joke's decision.

Now, don't get me wrong; ,the joke(s) has been absolutely overplayed, but they become mildly humous. (this being why I don't criticize the humor, because this board is So good at making fun of the criticism.) . . . just can't win. Sometimes the news just ain't. the Joke's on you

 

[Calvin]

I come here for the funny gifs....and occasional Illini news

I don't believe the Joke qualified as a Joke to pass admissions

 

[oldschool51]

His back up plan was UNC no major needed
